So Happy Spring is Here!!

     Now that winter is officially over, now this crazy Texas heat can start! Had some change of plans concerning the garden. We were going to do a container garden, but it turned into a raised bed garden! We were lucky to find some old fence wood someone was throwing away and my Babe made me this:

     I'm so excited, next step is to get some dirt. I already have some little veg plants and seeds. I plan on starting my seeds tomorrow in milk jug "greenhouses". I have some bell pepper seeds I started from an organic one I got from the grocery store, but didn't have too much luck with them. The leeks and onions are thriving!

    We have some wood left over and we plan on making a potato tower. I like how you can just add more dirt and go as high as you want. 


    I have a customer that asked for me to make their grandson some crochet converse slippers. So funny how things work, I was tagged in the photo several times from friends on social media. It definitely is a learning experience. The pattern comes in size US adult large and I need a kids Medium. I started it over 2 times already, I'm winging it. Sometimes I'm better than I think and don;t give my self credit. Here are some pics:

     They work up pretty fast and plan on doing some for the kids. I also started a project for a friend's wedding. I hope she likes it. This will be another first pattern for me, especially adult sized clothing.

 It's going to be like a bathing suit/lingerie, whatever she decided to use it for. :) Link: via Raverly

Interested to see what others are doing....don't be shy :)

Catch Up!!!!

Ooooooo wow, it has been a good minute since I have posted. It has been crazy; life goes so fast! There were several times I thought of posting, but had to go soothe a crying child.....or sleep! 

     Just a little of what I have been up to.... concerning my spirituality, it has come to my attention of all the negativity I have been holding on to. I've come to learn the difference between my Ego and my Higher Self. We, as humans, spend so much time worrying about material possessions and money; we forget what is really important. Gradually,I'm getting better at slowing down and really appreciating what I have. I am truly blessed with the life I have and thank the Divine every day for it. It is dumbfounding how much power a negative thought has. One thing that I have learned and tell myself every day, is that I am unconditionally loved and never alone. 

     Found an awesome affirmation on online; it is a Negativity Healing Prayer: 

         "I pray and ask for positive healing energy to come into my energy fields and surround me all day long to release any and all negative energy patterns that I have.

 In return, I give a positive mindset to fully release these negative issues in all areas of my life."

     You say it every day for 30 days, it really does work. There are times when I get busy and forget to say it, but no matter what time of the day, I recite it. It has been about 3 weeks and I really has helped me. After the first few days, I would get amazing energy when I said it. If you are always having negative thoughts or just negative in general; give it a try. It takes only a sec and can impact you immensely. Also, you do not have to use this same one, if you want to change up some words so it means more to you; go right ahead. I'd love to hear every one's experiences.

     Been crafting it up lately!!! I've doe quite a few crochet projects lately and recently started sewing. If anyone is on Raverly? Check me out!

     I've putting a temporary hold on crochet for a second to learn to make cloth diapers! We are on a strict budget and are trying to save money everywhere we can. I found this awesome tutorial by a lady named Dianna. These are so easy I wish I would of done them with my son. My daughter is already 7 months but better late than never. I rather make time to do an extra load a week versus paying for something I can make myself. Here are a few pics of what I have done so far......

All put together and waiting on elastic...

Inside look of the "pad"(inside out)

Elastic sewn in and turn right side out.

      I used old fabrics that I had (bed sheets, robes, table clothes, old clothes). I've made about 10 so far. Had a lot of fun and really enjoyed myself. Ill update pics when I get the Velcro on!

     Finally got around to planting some garden scraps for our container garden. Only have a few green onions and leeks for now but we are hoping to get some seeds soon. 

Mark and Tre gettin' dirty!!!

Our trash can compost bin!

Planted and ready!

2 weeks later! Awesome Sauce!!! Lol

Found these clippings in a neighbor's trash, hoping they root!!!!

We still have a few more weeks until it stays warm. I'm still collecting containers and pallets to use for planting. Mark and I had so many ideas! I hope to have more pics in a few weeks. The kids are calling so I'll have to check back later. Love and Light to all and Happy St. Patty's Day!!!!!
